- the invention has set itself the task of creating a discount display system without this disadvantage. This object is solved by the discount display system shown in claim 1.
- the discount display system of the present invention includes a display device that indicates granting a discount.
- Known discount display systems are usually limited to displaying the announcement of the discount grant. The customer learns that he will be granted a certain discount when buying.
- the discount display system according to the invention indicates the actual realization of this announcement. This enhances the positive effect of giving a discount.
- granting a discount is displayed as being perceptible to multiple customers.
- these customers are increasingly pointed out that discounts are granted.
- they are addressed in a special way.
- the display device displays one of several different signals representing a particular discount level.

- the signals are displayed by three differently colored light sources 1, 2, 3 in the display device 4.
- the customer learns which goods participate in the discount system and with which level. Since the article marking device 5 comprises the pictorial representation of the display device 4, a catchy connection between the signals of the display device 4 and the discount grant is established.
Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Rabattanzeigesystem für den Verkauf von Waren. Rabattanzeigesysteme sind in verschieden Ausgestaltungen bereits bekannt. Nachteilig bei bekannten Rabattanzeigensystemen ist, dass sie den Kunden unter anderem aufgrund ihrer weiten Verbreitung oft nicht mehr in gesteigertem Maße ansprechen.The invention relates to a discount display system for the sale of goods. Discount display systems are already known in various embodiments. A disadvantage of known discount display systems is that they often no longer appeal to customers to an increased extent, inter alia because of their wide distribution.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch das in Anspruch 1 wiedergegebene Rabattanzeigesystem gelöst.The invention has set itself the task of creating a discount display system without this disadvantage. This object is solved by the discount display system shown in
Das erfindungsgemäße Rabattanzeigesystem umfasst eine Anzeigevorrichtung, die das Gewähren eines Rabattes anzeigt. Bekannte Rabattanzeigesysteme beschränken sich meist darauf, die Ankündigung der Rabattgewährung anzuzeigen. Der Kunde erfährt also, dass ihm beim Kauf ein bestimmter Rabatt gewährt werden wird. Das erfindungsgemäße Rabattanzeigesystem zeigt die tatsächliche Realisierung dieser Ankündigung an. Hierdurch wird der mit der Gewährung eines Rabattes verbundene positive Effekt verstärkt.The discount display system of the present invention includes a display device that indicates granting a discount. Known discount display systems are usually limited to displaying the announcement of the discount grant. The customer learns that he will be granted a certain discount when buying. The discount display system according to the invention indicates the actual realization of this announcement. This enhances the positive effect of giving a discount.
In der bevorzugten Ausführungsform wird das Gewähren eines Rabattes so angezeigt, dass es für mehrere Kunden wahrnehmbar ist. Hierdurch werden diese Kunden verstärkt darauf hingewiesen, dass Rabatte gewährt werden. Indem sie Zeuge des positiven Ereignisses des Rabatterhaltens (bei einem anderen Kunden) werden, werden sie auf besondere Weise angesprochen.In the preferred embodiment, granting a discount is displayed as being perceptible to multiple customers. As a result, these customers are increasingly pointed out that discounts are granted. By witnessing the positive event of discounting (to another customer), they are addressed in a special way.
Vorzugsweise zeigt die Anzeigevorrichtung während des Kassiervorganges, wenn ein Rabatt gewährt wird, eines von mehreren verschiedenen Signalen an, das für eine bestimmte Rabattstufe steht.Preferably, during the checkout process, when a discount is granted, the display device displays one of several different signals representing a particular discount level.
Bevorzugt ist die Information über die Höhe des Rabattes den Signalen nicht unmittelbar zu entnehmen, sondern der Zusammenhang zwischen den Signalen und der Höhe des Rabattes ergibt sich -besonders bevorzugt- aus einer Anzeigetafel.Preferably, the information about the amount of the discount is not to be taken directly from the signals, but rather the relationship between the signals and the amount of the discount results-particularly preferably-from a display panel.
Vorzugsweise sind drei verschiedene Rabattstufen und drei verschiedene Signale vorgesehen.Preferably, three different discount levels and three different signals are provided.
In der bevorzugten Ausführungsform handelt es sich bei den Signalen um Farben und die Anzeigevorrichtung umfasst bevorzugt farbige Lichtquellen.In the preferred embodiment, the signals are colors and the display device preferably comprises colored light sources.
Vorzugsweise sind mehrere Anzeigevorrichtungen an verschiedenen Orten vorgesehen. Auf diese Weise kann erreicht werden, dass möglichst viele Kunden die Gewährung des Rabattes und die Höhe des gewährten Rabatts wahrnehmen.Preferably, a plurality of display devices are provided at different locations. In this way it can be achieved that as many customers as possible receive the discount and the amount of the discount granted.
Vorzugsweise ist zumindest eine Anzeigevorrichtung in unmittelbarer Kassennähe angebracht. Es ist weiter bevorzugt, wenn darüber hinaus mehrere weitere Anzeigevorrichtungen gleichmäßig verteilt in einiger Entfernung von der Kasse angebracht sind.Preferably, at least one display device is mounted in the immediate vicinity of the checkbox. It is further preferred if, in addition, a plurality of further display devices are evenly distributed at some distance from the cash register.
Die Anzeigevorrichtungen sind bevorzugt derart miteinander gekoppelt, dass alle Anzeigevorrichtungen stets das gleiche Signal zeigen.The display devices are preferably coupled together in such a way that all display devices always show the same signal.
